a memorable episode in the biography of Kohanevich became known not least because of the bravura song, "the Glorification of Oleg Kohanevich" Henri volkonskogo and Alexei "Tail" Khvostenko:

I escaped captivity,

I wanted freedom

I swam the surface of the water,

I don't bash, don't Buzuk,

I am not an enemy and not a friend

And please do not fix my miseries.

it's about the fact that in the late 1960-х (1967-м, and other information, in 1965,-м) after a few failed, but not exposed to attempts of crossing the Soviet border to the West, Kohanevich managed truly adventurous and deadly idea.

Not that I sat idly by, but yet, everything on the-прежнему, and every year more difficult, — because, among other things, nature has given me a talent, and it's just too uncomfortable here, if you're ambitious and know work well. Just throw it all to hell!" — recalled Kohanevich in his novel.
